Hip-Hop's New Leader In Diversity!!
Coming out of Tampa bay, FL. Feature Ink. collectively gathers a hit after hit routine. The group consists of prodominantly latino artists. where the main objective is to keep the consumers interested, by leaving no stone unturned. Ranging from punk-rap to latino swinger hip-hop they are able to reach any and every listener in the market.
INK: THICKER THAN BLOOD, the soon to be released album is to be completed and packaged by the summer of 2007. The album has been in the works for a little under a year, being prepared for the anticipation of the new release. Working online with promotions, as well as club venues, F.I. has been moving forward in venturing to establish an independant feel for the industry.
The five-member group formed back in 2005, while hosting a club venue. Soon after, the five solo artists decided to take a joint effort in accomplishing the goals of super stardom. Artists in the group are as follows: CESS "Producer/ Director/ Songwriter/ Vocalist" the groups core composer. LYPHLAKAI "Songwriter/Editor/ Vocalist" essential in crafting catchy hooks and bridges. J-SPEEKZ "Songwriter/ Producer" the punch line king of the group. EMAS "Producer/vocalist/ Songwriter" allows the group to explore realms of punk and metal. Raw "Songwriter" he is the energy other groups lack.
While on the road to success, the group has achieved many steps in moving foward to succeed. In early 2006 F.I. hit the streets with performances "in" the streets. Live performances include: Sold out college events, headlining at club venues, and even making it as a finalist on the Bay Area Idol. Last, but not the least of the projects in 2006, was the "RIDIN AVENUES" music video. Completed in November, It took many man hours of filming, and editing to come up with the finished product. The video was independently made on a budget of literally 150.00 dollars.
Please take great measures in preparing yourself for the 2007 year. FEATURE INK. will be in full speed on launching the album, merchandise, apperel, etc. So if you need a change from the old monotonous, try "Hip-Hop's NEW leader in diversity"...FEATURE INK.
